Lancer Evolution 5 Insurance

[benholmes]

OK Perhaps i should have explored the insurance side of things before buying the car. But really, does every EVO driver in the UK pay around 3K a year for fully comp insurance.

I am in no financial position to consider going third party. But with no convictions, 2 years (nearly 3) no claims, aged 27, car has Cat 1 alarm and imobiliser -surely it should be less than that.

What do you guys do?

I got mine for about £1,300 from Adrian Flux, which was cheaper than most. I must say that I was a bit shocked at the price, as my last car was brand new Porsche 996 @ £68k and that was cheaper to insure than the Evo (and slower to drive!)

Hmm, my wife (35) and I (29) pay £1800 with 3 years NCB on my Impreza P1.

I think I'll be calling Adrian Flux when it comes around to renewal time!

I recently bought a P1 and had all sorts of insurance fun. I'm 27 living in a nice area with 3 years NCB, the car is unmodified...and no-one would even consider insuring me. Tried Adrian Flux and a load of specialist insurers (from Scoobynet), and then a load of mainstream insurers. Apparently, "underwriters are pulling out of insuring imprezas, we can't find anyone who will accept the risk" or "we will only insure you if you're over 30". The *only* two who would even give me a quote were Admiral and Elephant (the same company basically) who seemed happy to do it for 1700. So I went with them.

Here's my insurance comparisons from when I had my scooby last year... it was an import grp 20

3K seems a lttle steep..

I should point out that I put a scooby on its roof last year however.
